Short visit to the Volafenice flying museum, founded by italian enterpreneur Renzo Catellani, based on Reggio Emilia airport.

Currently they are restoring an Aermacchi MB.326K, single seat attack version of the MB.326 for the export market. As far as I know, only 2 aircraft entered service with the Italian Air Force, both serving with the Reparto Sperimentale Volo (Flight Test Wing) instead of operational wings.
